L'obsédée du Macarons

Fauchon MACARONS come wrapped tightly first in a clear cellophane bag. Then placed inside a box - so they never get damaged until you eat them. These towering macs were in Fauchon's Paris windows. La Tartine Gourmande has a beautiful Macaronpost. For general vicarious wasting of time while dreaming of all things Paris, Macarons try Dessert First's photoson flickr. You can buy this tea set atLenôtre and have macs every single day.

Or you could go off to Pierre Hermé'spâtisserieschool to follow your bliss.EvenWikipedia is obsessed with macarons.Jean-Paul Hévin won again in the chocolate categorie. Ridiculous? No obsédée.

Hi I just wanted you to know that having lived in Paris for six months and now back in Les Etats Unis, I love receiving your photos and seeing your beautiful watercolors. I too am macaron obsessed. Laduree are the best to me but they are all wonderful.thanks for keeping up the pictures!!Avec plaisir,Adah

I don't know if I should correct your french. Seems so....But here goes: I believe your title should read Obsédée du macaron (sans "s" if singular) and Obsédée des macarons (if plural).In this case, I believe it is plural since no one can stop at just one macaron!!!Love your blog...and your food shots. Montréal, Canada

all French macs are mini.it's when Americanos try to make em that they get ginormous :(Like Mr. Fr. Laundry - he should stick to ironing shirts.There is a larger size it's true but no one buys them...only the desperate end-o-day buyers.

Je vous en prie - if you ever get over your macaron obsession - DO NOT LET ME KNOW! All of my years of obsessing, observing, desiring...would collapse under the weight of knowing that PB has gone off macarons.
